TISSUE BOX HOLDER
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to an app<~ratus for holding a tissue box. More particularly, the invention relates to a tissue box holder which can be mounted on a surface and which securely holds a tissue box without damaging or distorting the box.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art For many years tissues have been provided in cardboard boxes in which the tissues are folded and interleaved so that as one tissue is removed another is pulled partially put of the box.
Since these tissue boxes were first introduced, many people have recognized that it would be desirable to provide a tissue box holder. There are many reasons to provide a tissue box holder.
One reason is to locate the tissue box in a relatively permanent location so that tissues are conveniently placed when needed.
Another reason is to enable the location of a tissue box on a vertical surface such as a wall, or on a horizontal surface such as the underside of a desk. Another reason to provide a tissue box holder is to hold the box stationary while a tissue is pulled from it.
The prior art contains many examples of tissue box holders. Some of the prior tissue box holders are surprisingly complex and others are simply incomplete. In general, the simple tissue box holders do not work very well and the holders which do work are too complex when it comes to replacing a tissue box.
SUi~IARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an effective tissue box holder.
It is also an object of the invention to provide a tissue box holder which can be secured to a vertical surface.
It is another object of the invention to provide a tissue box holder which is easy to operate.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a tissue box holder which securely holds a box of tissues without deforming or damaging the tissue box.
It is another object of the invention to provide a tissue box holder which is inexpensive and easy to manufacture.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a tissue box holder which may be secured to virtually any surface in a number of ways.
Certain of the foregoing and related objects are achieved according to the present invention by the provision of a tissue box holder comprising a frame composed of a generally planar base and a normally upstanding sidewall attached to, and surrounding, said base within which a tissue box can be seated, and means for gripping the tissue box mounted on said sidewall, wherein at least one portion of said sidewall is hingedly coupled to said planar base for movement between a open position, in which said at least one portion is pivoted away from adjacent portions of said sidewall of said frame, and a closed position, in which said at least one portion is pivoted to an upright position abutting said adjacent portions of said upstanding sidewall of said frame.
Preferably, the sidewall is composed of four sides, one side of which defines said at least one portion and two other of said sides which are adjacent to said one side define said adjacent portions. Advantageously, the four sides axe composed of two opposite long sides and two opposite short sides.
In a preferred embodiment, the tissue box holder additionally includes means for releasably securing said one side in said closed position. Preferably, the means for releasably securing comprise resilient mechanical interlocking members engageable in a resilient snap-fit manner. These may, e.g., comprise Velcro~ hook and loop mechanical fasteners.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Turning now to the Figures, a tissue box holder 10 according to the invention includes a rectangular frame having two long sides 12, 14 and two short sides 16, 18. The two short sides are each provided with a plurality preferably of saw-tooth-shaped gripping ribs 20, 22 which serve to grab the sides near the bottom of a box of tissues 3. The frame includes an interior floor or base portion 24 which defines two mounting hole 26, 28, and a hanging hole 30 and which includes a plurality of supporting ribs 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56. One of the short sides 18 is hingedly coupled to the floor 24.
Holder 10 may be secured to a surface with screws 1, 2 through the keyhole openings 26, 28. However., other mounting means may be employed, such as shown in FIG. 7, where it is secured to a surface 5 with VELCRO-type hook and loop mechanical interlocking fasteners 6, 7, 8, 9. In any case, it will be appreciated that holder 10 may be easily removed from the surface so as to allow side door 18 to be opened as seen best in FIGS. 1 and 5a. With the side door opened, a tissue box 3 may be slid into the apparatus as indicated by the arrow in FIG.5a.
As mentioned above, the gripping ribs 20, 22 are preferably located such that they securely grip the sidewall 5 of the tissue box just above the base wall 7 of_ the tissue box 3. As seen best in FIG. 5c, this causes an inward deformation of the tissue box sidewall 5 closely adjacent the base wall 7. However, the remainder of the sidewall, particularly the portion visible above the side 18, maintains its planar, non-deformed state. The supporting ribs 32-56 are arranged to elevate the bottom of the tissue box above the heads of the screws 1, 2. They also provide a surface on which tissue box 3 can slide ir.~to place and they add strength to the apparatus.
According to the presently preferred embodiment, and as best seen in Figs. 8a-8c, the side door 18 is provided with generally L-shaped hooks 18a, which engage bosses 12a, 14a when the door is closed. Preferably, they engage in a snap-fit resilient manner. Hooks 18a are preferably each provided with a cylindrical plug or lug 18b on the outer surface of their respective free leg which is positioned to fractionally engage and be releasably receivable in a corresponding receiving hole 18c formed in sidewall 14. In addition, the side door 18 is also preferably provided with a pair of cylindrical plugs or lugs 15a, 15b which are positioned to fractionally engage a corresponding pair of receiving holes 17a, 17b formed in the base 24, as an additional measure of mechanical interlock. Preferably, the entire apparatus is formed as a single piece of injection molded plastic with the side door 18 coupled to the base 24 by a living hinge 19.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, a plurality of tissue box holders 10, 10~, 10~~, 10~~~ may be individually shrink wrapped with marketing indicia and suspended on a point of sale display _g_ hook 4 via the hole 30. Hole 30 is located close to one of the short sides of holder 10 so that the center of gravity of the apparatus 10 is far enough from the hole 30 so that the tissue box holders hang straight.
There have been described and illustrated herein preferred embodiments of a tissue box holder. While particular embodiments of the invention have been described, it is not intended that the invention be limited thereto, as it is intended that the invention be as broad in scope as the art will allow and that the specification be read likewise. For example, although the holder is specifically designed to hold rectangular tissue boxes, it can be readily adapted and configured to hold differently shaped boxes (e. g., round, oval, square, polygonal, etc.). In addition, although the means for gripping preferably comprise saw-tooth shaped gripping ribs, other gripping means may be employed.
Similarly, other means for releasably locking the hingedly-coupled wall may be employed. It will therefore be appreciated by those skilled in the art that yet other modifications could be made to the provided invention without deviating from its spirit and scope as so claimed.

Turning now to the Figures, a tissue box holder 10 according to the invention includes a rectangular frame having two long sides 12, 14 and two short sides 16, 18. The two short sides are each provided with a plurality preferably of saw-tooth-shaped gripping ribs 20, 22 which serve to grab the sides near the bottom of a box of tissues 3. The frame includes an interior floor or base portion 24 which defines two mounting hole 26, 28, and a hanging hole 30 and which includes a plurality of supporting ribs 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56. One of the short sides 18 is hingedly coupled to the floor 24.
Holder 10 may be secured to a surface with screws 1, 2 through the keyhole openings 26, 28. However., other mounting means may be employed, such as shown in FIG. 7, where it is secured to a surface 5 with VELCRO-type hook and loop mechanical interlocking fasteners 6, 7, 8, 9. In any case, it will be appreciated that holder 10 may be easily removed from the surface so as to allow side door 18 to be opened as seen best in FIGS. 1 and 5a. With the side door opened, a tissue box 3 may be slid into the apparatus as indicated by the arrow in FIG.5a.
As mentioned above, the gripping ribs 20, 22 are preferably located such that they securely grip the sidewall 5 of the tissue box just above the base wall 7 of_ the tissue box 3. As seen best in FIG. 5c, this causes an inward deformation of the tissue box sidewall 5 closely adjacent the base wall 7. However, the remainder of the sidewall, particularly the portion visible above the side 18, maintains its planar, non-deformed state. The supporting ribs 32-56 are arranged to elevate the bottom of the tissue box above the heads of the screws 1, 2. They also provide a surface on which tissue box 3 can slide ir.~to place and they add strength to the apparatus.
According to the presently preferred embodiment, and as best seen in Figs. 8a-8c, the side door 18 is provided with generally L-shaped hooks 18a, which engage bosses 12a, 14a when the door is closed. Preferably, they engage in a snap-fit resilient manner. Hooks 18a are preferably each provided with a cylindrical plug or lug 18b on the outer surface of their respective free leg which is positioned to fractionally engage and be releasably receivable in a corresponding receiving hole 18c formed in sidewall 14. In addition, the side door 18 is also preferably provided with a pair of cylindrical plugs or lugs 15a, 15b which are positioned to fractionally engage a corresponding pair of receiving holes 17a, 17b formed in the base 24, as an additional measure of mechanical interlock. Preferably, the entire apparatus is formed as a single piece of injection molded plastic with the side door 18 coupled to the base 24 by a living hinge 19.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, a plurality of tissue box holders 10, 10~, 10~~, 10~~~ may be individually shrink wrapped with marketing indicia and suspended on a point of sale display _g_ hook 4 via the hole 30. Hole 30 is located close to one of the short sides of holder 10 so that the center of gravity of the apparatus 10 is far enough from the hole 30 so that the tissue box holders hang straight.
There have been described and illustrated herein preferred embodiments of a tissue box holder. While particular embodiments of the invention have been described, it is not intended that the invention be limited thereto, as it is intended that the invention be as broad in scope as the art will allow and that the specification be read likewise. For example, although the holder is specifically designed to hold rectangular tissue boxes, it can be readily adapted and configured to hold differently shaped boxes (e. g., round, oval, square, polygonal, etc.). In addition, although the means for gripping preferably comprise saw-tooth shaped gripping ribs, other gripping means may be employed.
Similarly, other means for releasably locking the hingedly-coupled wall may be employed. It will therefore be appreciated by those skilled in the art that yet other modifications could be made to the provided invention without deviating from its spirit and scope as so claimed.
